I am trying to find someone who has worked with flexible cables and attaching them. They have flexible cables that solder to the board and screen. I am sure its low temp solder since the plastic can't take high temperature. I am finding that after running for 5 years some of the ribbon cables seem to be losing their bond.

Any ideas how to reattach the cables? Its not the complete cable losing attachment.

Thanks Jim

 

Are you talking wire ribbon? As in IDC? This stuff?

Or are you talking about putting wires in an insulator and soldering them to the connector?

I've used a lot of both over the decades. Wire ribbon can have the cables crimped, but it isn't as flexible as regular wire made into a cable. Generally when it wears out you replace it.

No its not a cable like that, its a flat flexible cable that is soldered on the tft screen to the board for the LCD panel. There are 8 across the top and 4 down the side to send the signals for turning on/off the pixels.
